Peruvian President Faces Growing Wave of Constitutional Complaints

Peruvian President Dina Boluarte Faces Wave of Constitutional Complaints Lima, Peru – Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is facing a growing number of constitutional complaints, a development that has dominated recent headlines. The complaints, originating from the nation's Attorney General's office, have put significant pressure on the President. Juan Carlos Portugal, President Boluarte's lawyer, stated, "We don't question the complaints themselves, but the process leading to this decision." This suggests a focus on procedural irregularities rather than the substance of the accusations. Constitutional lawyer Aníbal Quiroga offered insight into the legal ramifications. He explained that while the President currently enjoys immunity from prosecution, this immunity ceases upon leaving office. Quiroga noted that "the 29th of July 2026, she will be accused like any other official under article 99." This highlights the temporary nature of her legal protection. The sheer volume of complaints, five in just two days, underscores the gravity of the situation. While President Boluarte has attempted to mitigate the impact through public statements, the complaints remain a significant challenge. The video concludes by noting that the complaints will be reviewed by the next Congress in July 2026.
